Distance & flight time from YNA
Natashquan Airport
Natashquan Airport (YNA) serves the remote village of Natashquan along Quebec's Lower North Shore, a coastal region on the Gulf of St. Lawrence with no road connection to the rest of the province beyond a certain point. The community, famous as the birthplace of Quebecois singer-songwriter Gilles Vigneault, relies on YNA for passenger travel, mail, and freight since the coastal highway terminates nearby and onward travel requires boat or air transport. The airport connects to Sept-Iles and other North Shore communities, forming part of a small network of gravel-strip airports serving isolated fishing villages along this rugged coastline. YNA's simple infrastructure reflects the sparse population and challenging subarctic maritime climate of the region.
